Conservatory Prices will vary from diy conservatory company to company. How can the conservatory prices vary so wildly on such a similar product you might be asking? Well the truth is known it’s all down to the quality that you are buying and the specification.
As a Wiseman once said “you only get what you pay for”, so taking this advice on board can I suggest that before you plummet for the lowest price conservatory that you think you are buying and just compare the specification. Here are a few things to look for or the corners that will be cut to get you that cheap conservatory price and you will never be the wiser.

1. Unglazed frames. If a conservatory is delivered unglazed the supplier has not had to risk breaking the glass, glazing your conservatory or spend the time sorting every single piece of glass into every aperture. You have to!!
2. Fully reinforced Frames. www.diyconservatoryquotes.co.uk frames has full height aluminium from the cill to the very top corner of the frame. No other unglazed system can do this as they only reinforce inside the frames and can’t get the metal into the corners. Some companies don’t even go that far and stop where the transom meets the frame so only the bottom ¾ of the frame has metal in.
3. Cheap thin 16mm polycarbonate roofing. These are usually the high street diy stores. Ours are 25mm thick and usually an upgrade is on offer to a 35mm twice as thick as the high street stores. This means double the insulation and more sound proofing.
4. Only one handle on double doors. We put two as standard. Why companies do this I have no idea they save a lock in the slave door and a handle. The result is odd looking doors that ruin your brand new building.
5. Cheap Handles on windows and doors. Low quality handles is probably the last thing you would think to ask about. Trust me a cheap handle feels cheap and looks cheap. We supply robust handles and doors to our conservatories that are built to last.
6. 50mm 60mm frames Thinner frames means less insulation and poorer ascetics. Diy conservatory quotes are all 70mm.
7. Cheaper 24mm glass units ours are all 28mm
8. Cheap espag window locks ours are all high security shoot bolt locks that fix into the frame
9. Cheap door locks ours are all maco high security multipoint locks with hook locks as standard
10. Two hinges on all doors not three. Ours have Three to make sure that the door doesn’t drop.
11. Gutters and drainpipes are extra, ours are all included.
12. Not giving Toughened safety glass and virgin materials as standard. We don’t brag and worry people about this. It’s a basic requirement why advertise it. Unless you don’t have enough other things to inform people. It’s like buying a car without wheels you just don’t do it.
13. Delivered by one man on a courier. Finally ours are delivered on our own transport by two men who will carry it down your drive and put it where you want it and stay and check it off with you
14. 10 yr guarantee do they give you that!!

I could rant on forever I think everything in life is a compromise but if I don’t tell you about these pot holes then you are going to fall down them. If you get a similar specification as ours I’m sure that the price and service will be similar as well. Make sure you spend your money wisely and don’t buy something you regret for a few hundred pounds spread over the next 10 years.

1. Work out the size of your conservatory foot print : Although obvious the size of your conservatory will affect the style you pick. E.g. if you are limited on space stay away from the designs with angled corners like the Victorian conservatory or you won’t get your conservatory furniture inside
2. Survey the proposed site : Look around for manhole covers for drains etc. But also stand in the garden and look back at the house and see if there are any toilet over flows or drain pipes that you need to tell the conservatory designer about.
3. Decide on your budget : As with every purchase getting the most for you money if paramount. But don’t be fooled by cheap conservatory prices always check the conservatory specification against the price.
4. Select you conservatory Style : These can vary and don’t be afraid to ask for something special if that’s what you want. At diy conservatory quote we can draw and design and advise you on all aspects of the conservatory design process.
5. Conservatory Colour : Generally the rule of thumb is match the conservatory to your house or bungalows window colour. We offer white, rosewood, light oak or rosewood on white. We stay away from coloured conservatories as getting the ancillaries to colour match is difficult despite what the companies selling them say.
6. Conservatory door position : One of the most important considerations when designing a conservatory. The natural temptation is to put the doors, when looking back at the house, middle and centre. Now if you stop and think about this it immediately drives a walkway corridor straight through the middle of the conservatory. The best place is usually on one of the sides.
7. Conservatory Roof Type : Generally there are two roof types of conservatory roof. Glass or polycarbonate. If you are new to all this here is a quick and easy guide to roofs. Polycarbonate roofs are cheaper than glass roof. If you are going for a polycarbonate roof make sure you get as thick as you can. Certain high street diy stores are selling 16mm roofs our standard is 25mm but you can upgrade to 32mm. If you decide on a glass roof you instantly are opting for the quieter option if it rains but make sure you don’t lose all your heat from the building. Select a high performance glass and you won’t be disappointed.
8. Conservatory Glass type : This is all about heat loss and what you are using your conservatory for. If you want to use your conservatory all year round you need to select a low emission heat saving glass like Pilkington k glass. This glass reflects heat back into the room whilst allowing the suns warming rays to pass through and heat the conservatory as well.
9. Conservatory Ventilation : Make sure that you have enough opening windows to get a cooling breeze passing through the building even with the doors shut. We see a lot of customers asking for all top opening windows as they are totally unaware that with a dwarf wall you can have large mid-opening vents.
10. Preglazed Window Frames : The latest thing on the market. If you have never glazed a window or toe and heeled a door then you could be in trouble. Knowing how the pack the frames correctly to give adequate drainage is a must. Also who is picking up the bill for any broken or smashed glass whilst glazing ? You !

At Diy Conservatory quote we are constantly looking for ways to improve your conservatory experience. No other systems company offer Best technology that allows you to factory glaze the internally beaded windows and then connect them together. This unique patented system also has the benefit of being reinforced from the bottom of the frame to the top creating an extremely secure and drill hole free structure. Our 70mm internally beaded frames also carry the highest specification 28mm toughened glass safety units. IF you are fed up with unreliable builders why not take a look at our durabase system that can be erected on average in just 4hrs. With no skips and no mess the durabase is ideal for uneven ground , carrying through terraced houses or just because the local builders are too expensive or unreliable.

Great Easter savings all this weekend on Diy Conservatories.

This weekend we are offering everyone who has a quote with us the following deal

Free Pilkington’s K glass
Free Argon Filled gas Units
Free 35mm Poly Roof Upgrade

Together these are worth over £500 making this the warmest conservatory available on the net.
Pilkington K glass is a low emission glass that has a very thin metallic coating on the inside of one of the panes of glass. This reflects any heat inside the conservatory back into the room but to increase the heat saving properties even further we are adding argon gas inside the unit to give the glass even better insulation properties. This inert gas fills the air gap inside the glass unit and adds to the insulating properties of the glass.
But just like leaving the top off of a boiling saucepan there is no point in insulating the glass sides and allowing the heat to be lost through the roof. So we are also offering a 35mm roof upgrade from 25mm making this the warmest conservatory on the net.
